Both are really good choices. I think the Aggie with give you a bit more thunder while the GB will sound more natural or transparent.

What sound are you looking for? What style do you play? What head and bass are you using?

Sadowsky jazz basses and a Fender P with Sadowsky pre all with flats. Ashdown Abm500 EvoII. I play country. Like a lil grind in my tone.

I haven't tried the Aggie but I use the GB and love it to death. Both of my Precisions sound amazing through it, FWIW.

The GB is the total package.

Size, weight, power, clarity, tone.

The NEOX will do whatever you want it to... the Aggie is a great cab, but I'd go Genz.

I have had the Genz Benz for about 5 years now and I love it. Zero problems or complaints.

I am a big Aguilar user/fan... But I use the 212 Benz benz because of size weight and tone. Oddly enough the head that sounds worst out of this cab is the db750 (trust me...still sounds better than most amps). Great cab you will be happy

The skinnier cab of the Genz Benz means that my fingers will still be attached to my hand after going through the doors. I don't like cabs as wide as a 4x10 if I can avoid them and with a 2x12 you can. At least with the GB.
